The utilization of axial-flow compressors (Fig. 9.1) in gas-turbine engines has been relatively recent. The history of this compressor type began following an era when centrifugal compressors (Fig.
The axial-flow compressor is one of the most common compressor types in use today. It finds its major application in large gas turbine engines like those that power today's jet aircraft. A cutaway ...
Aerodynamic control in axial compressor cascades addresses the complex interaction between blade geometry, endwall flows and three-dimensional vortical structures that govern performance and stability ...
